thank you for the insights!
I DO actually live in one of those super humid environments and i was actually worried about them drowning in the other pots during the summer.
I have built a simple wooden frame (2x4 pressure treated wood cut in a 2' by 4' rectangle and filled with cement, molding out "cups" shaped like the bottom two inches of these pots. i arranged them in a checker board pattern and was able to make all eight pots have room ( i only have three cyms LOL) when the pot is in the base you could walk up and kick it as hard as you want and it wont come out from lateral force ( the pot would break but that is not my point )
given those factors would you still advise against?
